For example, singing Christmas carols is really not my favorite thing. But mom really likes it, and my wife really likes it and it really doesn't hurt me, so I participate.<br /><br />But, if there's something that really makes you unhappy (more than the mild annoyance I feel when I sing Christmas carols) Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10357398682419756851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2521256816974606164.post-81279813140363297782012-12-17T18:38:55.636-07:002012-12-17T18:38:55.636-07:00I was able to find it (the excitement) for a secon...I was able to find it (the excitement) for a second.

That sounds very stressful - no wonder you want to hide. But you're not scrooge. Scrooge didn't like Christmas because he didn't like giving to others. You don't like Christmas because you feel like you can't give enough (or at least that's what I got from what you said.) <br /><br />I hope you find a way to jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14191688082941672114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2521256816974606164.post-71412722264093101392012-12-17T18:35:00.400-07:002012-12-17T18:35:00.400-07:00Ok!

I am not sure why I'm not a Christmas person but I've always been this way, even when I was religious. Now, I am half-way across the country from my family and married to someone with no sentimental ties to Christmas (Hindu, raised in India).

My husband and I have so many people we "have"to visit in the course of 2 days - and we have and 4yo son and 3mo twin girls to take care of on top of it. We made our Christmas plans but nobody is happy with them. I just want to go and hide until it is all over... blah, I feel like scrooge this year... :-/hammerhorseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07144749417680923288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2521256816974606164.post-9181890622577814002012-12-15T14:30:37.176-07:002012-12-15T14:30:37.176-07:00That sounds like a fabulous Tuesday. :)

They were saying how stressful it was because there were so many obligations.<br /><br />I thought it was strange. I Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10357398682419756851noreply@blogger.com
